100 Years of Women at Gray's Inn
Watch as our Members reflect on their experiences, as we celebrate 100 years since the first woman was called to the Bar by Gray's Inn.
Edith Hesling was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn on 13 June 1923. She was the first woman to be declared an utter barrister by the Inn. Yet, this was not the only time she would make history in her lifetime. She later served as the first woman to preside over a County Court.
Since then there have been a series of women trailblazers, called by Gray’s Inn, who go on to break new ground in the legal profession. Frances Claudia Wright became the first Sierra Leonean woman to be called to the Bar in 1941. Rose Heilbron became the first female judge to sit in the Old Bailey. Lady Hale became the youngest person to be appointed to the Law Commission and the fi...

Gray's Inn, London
The Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, commonly known as Gray's Inn, is one of the four Inns of Court (professional associations for barristers and judges) in London. To be Called to the Bar and practise as a barrister in England and Wales, an individual must belong to one of these Inns. Located at the intersection of High Holborn and Gray's Inn Road in Central London, the Inn is both a professional body and a provider of office accommodation (chambers) for many barristers. It is ruled by a governing council called "Pension", made up of the Masters of the Bench (or "Benchers"), and led by the Treasurer, who is elected to serve a three-year term. The Inn is known for its gardens, or Walks, which have existed since at least 1597.

Why I chose Gray's Inn
If you decide to embark on the journey to becoming a barrister, then one of the first steps you will need to take will be to join an Inn of Court. There are four and each varies significantly in terms of their culture, scholarships and opportunities. You can only apply to one Inn, so it’s important that you choose wisely.
We spoke to some of our Members to hear why they feel at home at Gray’s.

VLOG | CALL TO THE BAR AT GRAY'S INN!
Hi everyone! On 24.11.2022, I was called to the Bar of England and Wales at Gray's Inn, one of the four Inns of Court. I am unregistered, but I can now call myself a barrister (or utter barrister as it is on my certificate)! It was a phenomenal day that marked the end of one chapter in my life and the beginning of another.
I hope you enjoy this short vlog about that special day!

Ena Collymore-Woodstock is the first female magistrate in Jamaica.
Gray’s Inn is now the professional home to over 4,000 women students, pupils, barristers, and judges. They make up 40% of our membership.
This year is the time to celebrate their achievements, to reflect on the challenges they have faced and most of all recognise our Members for the striking individuality they bring to the Bar.
